The
International Criminal Court (
ICC or
ICCt)
[2] is an
intergovernmental organization and
international tribunal seated in
The Hague,
Netherlands. It is the first and only permanent international court with
jurisdiction to prosecute
individuals for the
international crimes of
genocide,
crimes against humanity,
war crimes and the
crime of aggression. The ICC is distinct from the
International Court of Justice, an
organ of the United Nations that hears disputes between states.
Established in 2002 pursuant to the multilateral
Rome Statute, the ICC is considered by its proponents to be a major step toward justice,
[3] and an innovation in
international law and
human rights.
[4] However, it has faced
a number of criticisms from governments and civil society groups, including objections to its jurisdiction, accusations of bias,
Eurocentrism and
racism,
[5] questioning of the fairness of its case selection and trial procedures, and doubts about its effectiveness.
